If the special order for 3,000 boxes of crystal glassware is accepted, the effect on the net income of Harvest, Inc. is an increase of <u>$12,000</u>.

<h3>What is break-even analysis?</h3>

Break-even analysis is an accounting technique to ensure that a company does not incur losses from its transactions.

Using the technique, a corporation ensures that the total costs are at least equal to the total revenue or the contribution margin is sufficient to cover the fixed costs, which are not variable within a relevant range.

The technique is based on the concepts of contribution margin and variable costing.

<h3>Data and Calculations:</h3>

Special order units = 3,000 boxes

Price per box for special order = $30

Variable costs per box = $24

Special shipping costs per box for the special order = $2

Contribution margin per box = $4 ($30 - $24 - $2)

Total Contribution Margin = $12,000 ($4 x 3,000)

Fixed costs = $30,000 ($10 x 3,000)

Normall selling price per box = $70

Thus, if the special order for 3,000 boxes of crystal glassware is accepted, the effect on the net income of Harvest, Inc. is an increase of <u>$12,000</u>.

Grason Corporation is preparing a budgeted balance sheet for 2015. The retained earnings balance at December 31, 2014 was $533,5
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

D. $605,500

Explanation:

At the end of 2014, the Retained Earning balance was $533,000. This serves as our beginning balance for the year 2015.

Furthermore, Dividends are expected to be paid out, i.e. a deduction on the balance sheet.

Retained Earnings on the 2015 budgeted balance sheet = Beginning Balance + Expected Net Income - Expected Dividend

=533,500+112,000-40,000

=$605,500

Laurey Inc. is working on its cash budget for May. The budgeted beginning cash balance is $45,000. Budgeted cash receipts total
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

The company needs to borrow $10,000

Explanation:

First, let us state the information given clearly:

Beginning cash balance = $45,000

total cash receipt = $129,000

total cash disbursement = $124,000

desired ending cash balance = $60,000

Next Let us calculate the net cash available after the period's transactions:

Net available cash from transactions = total receipt - total disbursements

= 129,000 - 124,000 = $5,000

Next we were told that the beginning balance = $45,000

This means that without borrowing ;

the net ending cash balance = Net available cash from transactions + beginning cash balance = 5,000 + 45,000 = $50,000

Finally, we are told that the desired ending cash balance = $60,000, and the amount of cash available = $50,000, therefore to meet up the target, the amount that needs to be borrowed is calculated thus:

desired ending cash = available cash + borrowed amount

60,000 = 50,000 + borrowed amount

∴ borrowed amount = 60,000 - 50,000 = $10,000

hence the company needs to borrow $10,000
